ROSES-18 Amendment 11: Final text for Heliophysics Space Weather Operations to Research

This amendment presents final text for program element B.12 Heliophysics Space Weather Operations to Research.

NASA has established the Heliophysics Space Weather Operations-to-Research (H-SWO2R) program in response to the need to advance and coordinate the Nation's space weather research and operations capabilities. NASA is supporting this funding opportunity in coordination with NOAA to promote space weather operations-to-research (O2R) activities. For this opportunity, the objective of O2R is broadly defined as the joint pursuit of improvements of operational capabilities and advancements in related fundamental research. The primary goal of this funding is to support research by the grant recipient to improve numerical models and/or data utilization techniques that could advance specification and/or forecasting capabilities and which could also lead to improved scientific understanding. For this year's program element, NASA and NOAA have identified the following focus area for research and development: Improve specifications and/or forecasts of the energetic particle and plasma conditions encountered by spacecraft within Earth’s magnetosphere.

Notices of Intent are requested by June 22, 2018 and 10-page proposals are due by August 3, 2018.

On or about May 10, 2018 this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2018" (NNH18ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and will appear on the RSS feed at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2018/
